Life
As a Cossack colonel of the Chernigov regiment, Mnohohrischnyj took part in the 1668 rebellion against the Moscow Empire led by Hetman Ivan Brjuchowezkyj . In June 1668 the hetman Petro Doroshenko appointed him hetman of the left bank of Ukraine (eastern Cossack areas on the Dnieper ). In the autumn of 1668 Mnohohrishnyj promised the tsar his loyalty, he was recognized by the Moscow Empire and on March 13, 1669 elected supreme hetman for the left bank of Ukraine. Soon afterwards he signed the Hlukhiv Treaty with Moscow . Mnohohrischnyj achieved that Kiev could remain part of the left bank of the Dnieper despite the terms of the 1667 Treaty of Andrussowo . Mnohohrischnyj tried to strengthen his position by gradually weakening the power of his political opponents .
From 1671 he conducted secret negotiations with Doroshenko about the possibility of transferring the hetmanate on the left bank under the protectorate of the Ottoman Empire . This policy led to resentment and opposition in Moscow and many of its officers. On the night of March 12th to 13th, 1672 Demjan Mnohohrischnyj was arrested by the Cossack leaders Petro Zabila, Ivan Samoylowytsch, Karpo Mokriewich and Rodion Dmytraschko-Raicha with the support of the chief of the Moscow garrison in Baturyn and brought to Moscow, where in mid-April 1672 his trial began. He was accused of treason, tortured and then sentenced to death, the sentence later commuted to life imprisonment. Together with his family and his comrades Matwei Gvintowka and Pawlo Hrybovich, he was taken to Buryatia and imprisoned in an Irkutsk prison. He was later transferred to Selenginsk and released from prison after attacks by the Buryats in 1688, where he distinguished himself as a commander. In 1696 the former hetman entered the monastery as a monk and died in Selenginsk in 1703.
